I agree. My...Ah Emily, what the others have said! I agree. My house is now always a mess, to me at least. Other people think it's quite tidy, but it's never good enough for me. I've been told many times, since I had my children, that you can expect to live in some kind of messiness until they leave home, and I am finding that to be true. So that leaves us with two options: 1) run ourselves ragged (mums and/or dads - doesn't HAVE to be just the mummies who do the cleaning!) trying to keep it clean and tidy, and thus missing out on the good stuff in life (the good stuff being our family); 2) do what we can to keep it from running into squalor, but otherwise not worrying about it too much, because worrying about a tidy house eventually leads to a poisoning of the mind!<br /><br />We all have to learn balance when babies arrive, but don't feel the need to be perfect from day one - you'll make mistakes, we ALL do: the trick is not to beat yourself up about them. <br /><br />Linda.<br />Xx.Lady Wordsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539951812137473757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211428018923512487.post-69307420938064245512010-08-17T22:40:51.276+01:002010-08-17T22:40:51.276+01:00Hey Emily, I was wondering whether you'd had s...Hey Emily, I was wondering whether you'd had squiggles yet. I agree with the other posters - put your feet up!!! And I made a delicious chocolate and courgette cake on the weekend. Something to make with your glut.

It sounds to me like you're doing an awful lot for an any-day-now pregnant woman. The midwife won't be expecting the house to be spotless, and she certainly won't be expecting you to be using your precious energy to make it perfect for her. Have a rest! <br /><br />I'll be thinking of you muchly and hoping that Squiggles puts in appearance soon. You must be really keen to meet them! xxxxxxxxxxxxHannahhttp://citrusgirrl.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.com
